One of the keys to this game is keep Dallas Clark in check...and put that pressure on Manning...make that baluga head scramble.

Another key is that Kubiak feature the only "feature" back he has. If the offense falls flat with Chris Brown getting the majority of the carries again, that's on the coach.

Chris Brown averaged 2.5 ypc through almost three quarters last week; his "big" fourth quarter upped the average to 3+ ypc. If he is inefective for most of the game this week and is still getting the carries, stubborness is trumping in-game adjustments. This should be a moot point; Slaton should get the carries from the start.

Hopefully now that Freeney isn't breathing down Schaub's neck we can exploit the mismatch of an undrafted rookie on one of our WRs.

Go Texans!!!

If there was ever a day to beat the Colts, it's today. If we can't beat them without Freeney, then we just aren't ready for prime time yet. Of course Manning is still playing so that's a problem as it always is.
